Dragon Dynasty was released back in 2006 as a TV film, which is our first clue that it may not be up to the standards of a Hollywood blockbuster. However, if you want to see some great dragon action then watch away.
The story, written by Berkeley Anderson and directed by Matt Codd, finds Marco Polo and...

What happens when you take a bunch of Marvel superheroes, throw in a famous villain and get man-of-the-moment director Joss Whedon to mix them together? The answer is 142 minutes of gripping adventure, hilarious banter and pure entertainment, of the kind that doesn't come around very often.

The science fiction genre of late has been filled with attempts that barely exceed our expectations. Luckily The Hunger Games, with its clever commentary on reality TV and the desensitization of violence, might just be the film we've been waiting for.

It was one of my main criticisms of Christopher Nolan’s Inception – not enough people understood it. Yet for all its...

Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, something has gone horribly, horrible...

He also falls in love, which marks a departure as his characters tend to be in too much of a rush for emotional entanglements. As well as physical and romantic action, the plot asks all sorts of...

Here at TFR, we love us some Paul. It's a funny film with a great cast that really captures the essence of the sci-fi fan and the would-be geek novelist. So how does the DVD complete the experience?
